It’s true of a lot of things. If you compare it to woodworking or auto repair, you don’t learn much by just doing random cuts or undoing and reattaching a part. Having a purpose helps the understanding and retention of that knowledge. And the opposite is true too - a skill or knowledge can fade if not used regularly. I hate going into old code, or for that matter working on part of a car I haven’t messed with for a while. I have to relearn and remember what I knew before. Sometimes it comes back fast, sometimes I have to retravel the road of looking it up.

A 14 hour expanded radio drama of the Star Wars trilogy was done.

And the gray hair in a few years timespan.

The amount of “acceptable” pet hair or dust depends on a lot of factors. If it’s rolling balls of cat hair or the dust can be measured in layers thick, then maybe there’s something that needs to be changed in cleaning routine. But occasional hair or dust or a knickknack here and there is part of life, especially with animals. And some breeds are far worse than others. Also look at both your air filter schedule, how quick they get dirty, and maybe the air patterns and how to improve them so things don’t collect in places.

If you mean family as in visiting, then that’s just rude. If you did have an issue with cleanliness and the best they can do is make you feel bad about it instead of offering help or advice then I’d invite them over less or not at all. If it’s family that lives there… that’s a whole other level of “what are you helping with?”

Kokoro was the one I was going to mention. I played around with it a bit, was very impressed with the speed and quality. And then I realized I had been using it in CPU mode. GPU is incredible.

Someone had pointed out when all this started, this is a privateer, pirating with the sanction of a government. Not honest pirating. ;)

Someone come up with a bingo card that has things still without his name on them. Won’t take long to call a winner.

If he tries to run for President, will the fly be his VP?

Even a bad idea like this has its loyal supporters who are fine with a car company making DIYers jump through hoops. Probably pay more for the luxury of not being able to do basic service on your own car.

I honestly was expected it to be lug nuts connected to the cloud that self-destructed if a code isn’t given in time. If you want people to buy your cars and take them to the dealer for servicing, then build better cars and have better service at decent prices. It’s common sense to anyone else.

“Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.”

I’m considering it. The only reason being to get away from a corporate stance that could shift at any time, even though I don’t think it’s quite there yet.

However on issue of Firefox going the way of all the other browsers, I swear that the last update or so of Firefox asked me if I wanted to enable AI, I said no, and it told me how to turn it on if I ever wanted it. Much like when I first used DuckDuckGo. So wasn’t that opt in? Did it change how it prompts a new user?

Paramedics and EMTs see things in the setting in happened in. Same lack of shock training before doing it live.

Williams has a gift for creating a general theme, character motifs, and layers of the music that don’t just sing but tell you the story you’re seeing. He’s our Mozart or Beethoven who was around at the right time to use the vehicle of cinema to paint his pictures.

It’s also relative to your experience. The better days of the 50s and 60s before the mentioned decline wasn’t all that create for all groups in the US. And I say that as a descendant of the group that is pictured as experiencing this optimal period of time (white, middle class, suburbia). Underneath this wholesome prosperity was still class struggles, racism, and injustice.

But… we were doing better than before, and that’s something. It could have continued to spread to others. The 70s were definitely a turning point where we took the worse path and left many potentials behind.

This looks like the actions of Big Toner. How to spur more sales.

Ah, printers, of course (and other things). I have no idea what my Okidata printer was set up with, I never did printing with anything but an application that did it internally. Yes, disk drives were a luxury item for a while. The big thing was those running the first BBSes who had a pricey, enormous 20 MB hard drive.

I started with “,1,1”. I never found a reason why they went from 1 for cassette to 8-15 for disk. Must have been a bit indicator thing.

I thought it was called “Christmas of elves”, not swarm.

The response to “what are you trying to hide” is always “WTF do you need to see so badly?”
